Altar II Welded steel and found metal components 23 18.5 x 5in. This compact yet expressive steel sculpture evokes a sense of watchful presence and poised stillness. Constructed from welded and repurposed industrial fragments, Altar II assembles a seemingly abstract figure atop a rectangular base. A gently arched form with an affixed ring suggests a head in profile—open-eyed and alert—while a curved appendage anchors the composition with an anthropomorphic grace. Deeply evocative, the work explores gesture through geometry, invoking the timeless ritual of silent observation. Measures: 5 x 18.5 x 23 in. Artist statement: I seldom use stock material, but prefer distressed and rusted steel that has been scarred, bent, and made imperfect. In this state, the material becomes quite beautiful.

Here, it is still and approachable. The compositions are constructed mainly from found parts. Their relationships manifest as I interact with the material. The pieces interlock, balance, and become fitted before I fasten or weld them together. The engineering is elemental. Altering the material is avoided. The number of parts kept to a minimum. Art is my spiritual exercise, my selflessness. It identifies me as a creator and satisfies my human longing for place and purpose. It needs not to be great, or preeminent, or commercial. Art speaks because it is Primitive. It exists because it is sacred. Biography: Scott Gordon was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey in 1966. He attended the University of Denver where he studied business and the University of Washington where he pursued an MFA in creative writing. While he was in Seattle, he was introduced to steel as an employee of the David Gulassa...
